Check the wiring to and from the main switch(driver door) from there I think the wiring runs just onder the door sill/carpet edge check the wires at the door jamb to because of the movement it could break the wires there too.
Edit: perhaps under the rear seat since its on the other side

If any part of the circuit is bad, the window won't work. When I had the rear switches unplugged while putting speakers in, the rear windows wouldn't function even from the driver's switch.

Check the connection to the rear switches.

And the reason for my window failure is......dead motor. Both switches are sending current to the motor, motor is DOA.
Troubleshooting tip for anyone with this problem. Remove back seat, uncouple quick-disconnect (green). With a multimeter, read 2 female pins for current while car is "on" and front switch/back switches are operated. If there is no current, don't remove side panel, the problem is "upstream". ****SEE UPDATE IN #9 ENTRY OF THIS THREAD****

Taking off the panels is really easy, once you do it one time you could do it a billion times.

*Follow-up* Not good~~~~
I finally found the time to put in my new rear window motor, but decided to do some last minute troubleshooting:
Soooo, the motor likely is ok. The passenger side back switch is ok. Could it be my driver's door switch? I really REALLY don't want to tear the car up any more than I have to! ** Pulled the driver's door panel, unseated and reseated plugs. Pulled boot back from wiring in door jamp, no obvious broken wires....this is getting frustrating.**

Stupid question, do you have the window lock button pressed?

Nope! All of the windows work normally except for the passenger rear. I even tried cycling the lockout on and off while pressing the passenger rear window button.

You'll have to check all wires for continuity. I'm willing to bet there's a plug behind the kick panels with a loose connection. That was the case with my door locks. (Plug was behind driver's kick panel in my case)

**calling All Wiring Gurus**
Good tip! That will be my next step. Anyone know which wires I should be specifically looking for? It'd be whatever wire powers the rear passenger window down.

You'll have to take that panel off and take a look at the color of the wires. Find where those wires have connections and test for continuity through the connection.
Someone with a FSM handy should be able to tell you where the connections are.
